Tour Itinerary
Welcome to Morocco. Your driver will meet you at Casablanca airport and take you to your hotel. Settle in and rest after your flight. If your arrival time allows, take a short city tour, including the Corniche and the outside of Hassan II Mosque. An interior visit can be arranged around the mosque’s visitor schedule.
Leave Casablanca after breakfast and travel to Rabat. See Hassan Tower and the Kasbah of the Udayas, then continue towards Meknes and the Roman ruins of Volubilis. Explore Volubilis with a local guide before arriving in Fes. This is a full day of driving and sightseeing, so the order and length of visits will depend on opening hours, traffic and your pace.
Explore Fes with your local guide. Walk through Fes el Bali, where workshops, markets and neighbourhood fountains still shape daily life. Visit a historic madrasa when open, see Nejjarine square and its fountain, and stop at a tannery viewpoint. View Al Quaraouiyine from the permitted public areas. Later, see the Royal Palace gates and the Mellah, the historic Jewish quarter. Your guide will adjust the route to opening hours, your interests and your walking pace.
Leave Fes early and cross the Middle Atlas through Ifrane and the cedar forests near Azrou. Continue through Midelt and the Ziz Valley, with breaks for lunch and viewpoints over the palm groves. Reach Merzouga in time for a camel ride into the Erg Chebbi dunes when road and weather conditions allow. Enjoy dinner and settle into your desert camp. A 4×4 transfer can be arranged if you prefer not to ride a camel.
Wake early if you would like to see sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast, leave Merzouga and stop in Rissani, a historic trading town near the old caravan routes. Market activity varies by day. Continue towards Tinghir and walk through Todra Gorge, where high limestone walls rise above the river. Travel on to Dades Valley for dinner and your overnight stay. Your driver will allow regular breaks for photographs, lunch and time outside the vehicle.
Travel through the Valley of Roses and the Skoura area towards Ouarzazate. Continue to Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified village of earthen buildings on an old trade route between the Sahara and Marrakech. Walk through the lanes and climb to a viewpoint if you wish. Cross the High Atlas via the Tizi n’Tichka pass, with breaks along the way, then arrive in Marrakech. A film-studio visit or extra kasbah stop can be considered if time allows; this is already a full travel day.
Explore Marrakech with your local guide. See the Koutoubia Mosque from outside, then visit Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs, subject to opening hours. The palace shows the work of Moroccan artisans, while the tombs belong to the dynasty that ruled Marrakech in the 16th century. Walk through the medina’s workshops and souks and finish around Jemaa el-Fna square. Keep the afternoon flexible rather than rushing through too many sights. Majorelle Garden can be arranged separately with advance reservations.
Enjoy breakfast and any free time your flight schedule allows before your private transfer to Marrakech airport. Your driver will confirm pickup around your departure, allowing time for traffic and check-in. Breakfast is included at your accommodation; availability before an early pickup depends on the hotel’s breakfast hours. If you plan to fly from Casablanca, tell us before booking so we can adjust the final night and transfer.
